Why not choose to be happy?

I know you have heard that phrases a hundred times. Happiness is a choice. You choose your own happiness. Circumstances isn't an excuse for you to be lonely. But hey!! We are human. We have emotions. And our initial response to rejection, abandonment, lost of someone, heartache and failure is LONELINESS. Everyone feels loneliness. Your boss, your parents, your bestfriend, your teachers. Noone is exempted! You dont have to deny that you are lonely. But it  doesn't necessary mean you will be lonely at all time! It doesn't mean you're gonna embrace loneliness. That is why we said we can choose to be happy.

Cmon! You can still be happy even if you lost your job, if you failed your exam, even if you didn't please your parents, and even if you're broken hearted. All you have to do is to set your mind that nothing is permanent!  Your loneliness isn't permanent. 

If what causes you loneliness is memories, here is what Joel Osteen said, 

Bad memories will play the most often, but just because the memory comes up doesn’t mean you have to watch it. Change the channel.

And be happy! Because God wants you to rejoice always ( Philippians 4:4)
